SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage ORIGINAL, Feb. 28, 8:40 a.m.) — 14 dogs are facing euthanasia after the San Angelo Animal Shelter exceeded its maximum capacity for the pets, according to the City of San Angelo.

In an announcement made by the City on Tuesday, Feb. 27, the shelter has 194 dogs sheltered on-site. This number is 14 dogs higher than the legal maximum capacity of 180, forcing the shelter to consider euthanizing the pets to stay at its limit.
